BUTTER-DISH.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 284,532, dated September 4,1883.

Application filed July 16, 1883. (No model.)

exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 in the drawings is a representation of this invention in a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a vertical section.

Fig. 3 is a detail view. This invention has relation to butter-dishes; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement f a butter-dish having a removable drainer and a revolving cover set into a revolving frame provided with stops which prevent the revolving cover from passing too far down underneath the butter-dish, as will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim appended.

I am fully aware that a revolving cover for butter-dishes is not broadly new; also, that buttendishes have been made to revolve on a pivot, the pivot passing right through the dish proper, andbeing affixed to the drainer inside of the dish, allowing the latter to revolve around it; further, dishes have been made with revolving drainers, the drainer alone revolving, and I therefore make no broad claim herein to any of these constructions.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, a designates the base or stand for the revolving frame I), thelower portion,c, of which is secured thereto by a pivot-bolt, d, so that the frame I) may revolve in a horizontal plane. d designates the band or rim portion of the revolving frame, which is provided at diametrically-opposite points with bearings e e for the journals ff of the dish g. The portion c of the revolving frame I) is provided with stops h]; on its upper face one' on each side of the head of the pivot-bolt d-to prevent the revolving cover ifrom passing too far under the dish 9 when the cover is turned open. The

band d is provided at the front with brackets k h, to serve as a rest for the butter-knife. A set-screw, Z, is passed through the band d,-. preferably midway between the brackets is k,

into the annular flange m, near the edge of the a dish g,to prevent the dish from revolving,

except with the revolving frame I). The journals ff of the dish pass through eyes an of the cover, to form the bearings for the cover, which has a half-revolution thereon in avertical plane.

' The dish 9 is provided with an internal ledge orflange, 0, on which the removable drainer p rests. 3 j r Removable drainers are not broadly new;

but in all the revolving dishes with which I am familiar the drainer is connected in some way to the dish, necessitating a separation of the parts of the dish to get beneath the drainer, while in my construction no separation of the parts is necessary, as the drainer may be liftedout and ice placed beneath it to cool the butter. Y g

q designates the finger-piece by which the revolving cover is manipulated.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention may-be readily understood.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by 7 Letters Patent is J p so A butter-dish having a revolving cover set into a' revolving frame provided with stops which prevent the revolving cover from passing too far under the dish, substantially as specified. 8 5

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
